Baltic Film Weekend
IN THE NETHERLANDS
27-29 January 2023
BALTIC FILM
Welcome to the Baltic Film Weekend 2023!
We are excited to welcome you to the 3rd online Baltic Film Weekend in the Netherlands. The 2023 edition is devoted to the courage and resolve of Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians whose combined efforts and closely coordinated actions in the late 1980s and in the beginning of 1990s led to the long-awaited goal of restoring independence of the Baltic nations. The month of January has a special meaning for all three Baltic States when we honour those members of independence movements who became victims of atrocities and violent measures taken by the Soviet military forces thirty-two years ago.
Although the Baltic States’ independence story is unique, nevertheless it may serve as an inspiration to others who are oppressed or facing aggression like Ukraine is experiencing at the moment. Our message in today’s dramatic and challenging times is to strongly believe in your freedom and to stay united as a whole nation in working to achieve it. Yet in the midst of violence, humanity should not be forgotten.
Enjoy the films!
